Immigrants seeking legal life and work on the US road will now be checked by “anti-Americanism,” said the authorities on Tuesday, raising critics’ concerns that it gives officers too freedom to reject foreigners based on a subjective decision.
US Citizenship and Immigration Services said officials would now be considering whether the applicant, such as the Green Card, “agreed, promoted, supported, or otherwise” anti -American, terrorist or anti -Semitic opinion.
“The benefits of America should not be given to those who despise the country and promote anti-American ideologies,” Matthew Tragesser said in a report. “Immigration benefits, including life and work in the US, provide a privilege, not the right.”
It is not mentioned what is anti -American, and it is unclear how and when the directive will apply.
“The news is that the US and immigration agencies will be less tolerant of anti-American or anti-Semitism when making immigration decisions,” said the Immigration Studies Center, a group of immigration at the Immigration Studies Center, a group of immigration.
Jacobs said the government was behaving more clearly for such behavior and practice officials, but stressed that the discretion was still in place. “The agency cannot tell officials that they have to deny – just to keep it negative,” she said.
Critics are worried that the renewal of politics will allow more subjective views on what is considered anti -American and will allow the official to cloud his or her personal bias.
“For me, it is really a big story that they open the door for stereotypes and prejudice and prejudice to make these decisions.
Political changes have been following other recently implemented from Trump’s administration, including the inspection of social media and the latest attached to the applicants who want to naturalize the “good moral nature”. Not only will this take into account “not only the lack of misconduct”, but will also take into account the positive features and contributions of the applicant.
“This means that you will just do much more work to provide evidence to meet our standards,” Lopez said.
Experts disagree on the constitutionality and freedom of their speech by people who are not US citizens. Jacobs from the Center for Immigration Studies said the first correction law does not apply to people outside the US or are not US citizens.
Ruby Robinson, a senior lawyer at the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center, believes that the draft law and the US Constitution protect all the people in the US, regardless of their immigration status, from government intrusion. “Many activities of this administration violate constitutional rights and must be resolved in the courts,” Robinson added.
Lawyers advise clients to adjust their expectations.
“People need to understand that we have a different system today, and many more things that apply to US citizens are not going to contact someone who is trying to get to the United States,” said Jaime Jaime, an immigration lawyer, located in Brownsville, Texas.
Jonathan Grod, head of Green and Spiegel immigration law firm, said that the renewal of politics was not unexpected, taking into account the Trump administration approaching immigration.
“It was elected. They are allowed to interpret the rules as they want,” Grode said. “For them always, policy is to shrink a strike zone. The law is still the same.”
